Climate change is a hot topic, and it has attracted many built environment researchers for decades. The phenomenon is considered the cause of extreme weather events worldwide, posing an immediate risk to human survival. Among artificial interventions, the built environment is claimed to contribute to this phenomenon. As a response, many efforts have been taken to minimize threats posed by climate change. Countries worldwide have committed to conduct climate change mitigation and agreed to limit the increase of global average temperatures. Since 2015, United Nations has included efforts to tackle this subject matter in one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and already adopted by all member states. On the academic side, studies on the topic have been carried out by many researchers. Yet, the results still need to be elaborated and enriched to reach a broader level of practicality and community participation. 

As a built environment, architecture must mitigate climate change, lower urban heat islands, reduce carbon emissions, and ensure the preservation of biodiversity and favorable human habitation. Humans as users and actors, nature as a context and resources, and technology as means of realizing objectives must be synchronized and synergized in creating a sustainable built environment. All stakeholders must also play a role in this battle. Having all in the same plate will ensure the health and safety of the user and the environment.
